Priority: medium
Bug ID: 82570
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Other: Default Shortcuts not Reachable on Different
Keyboard Layouts
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.3.0.4 release
Component: Localization
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description:
The problem arose when I tried to use the new Calc function (version 4.3.0)
“Fill Single Edit” (In the release notes the function is called “Start cell
edit with content of cell above”.) with a keyboard with a German layout. The
default short cut is “Alt+' “. With a German keyboard the character “ ' “ is
only reachable via the Shift key. Hence the shortcut “Alt+' “ is not possible.
Then I checked if there are more default shortcuts which are not reachable on a
German keyboard in the Customize dialogue. I found these:
For Writer: “Strg+[“, “Strg+]“, “Strg+*“, “Strg+/“
For Calc: “Strg+;“, “Strg+' “, “Strg+[“, “Strg+]“, “Strg+*“, “Strg+/“,
“Strg+Umschalt+;”,
For Impress: “Strg+[“, “Strg+]“, “Strg+/“
For Draw: “Strg+[“, “Strg+]“, “Strg+/“
Hint: “Strg” on a german keyboard is identical to “Ctrl” and “Umschalt” to
“Shift”.
I am sure that there are similar problems with keyboard layouts of other
languages. Besides shortcuts with special characters also shortcuts with
“Alt+Ctrl+...” are problematic. On several keyboard layouts these shortcuts
(Alt+Ctrl+...) are used to insert special characters. See also bug 38891, bug
36377, bug 36588.
Expected behaviour:
At least the default shortcuts should always be reachable with the particular
keyboard layout. That may imply that there are different default shortcuts for
the same function with different keyboard layouts. Or generally problematic
default shortcuts (with special characters or with “Alt+Ctrl+...”) should not
be used any more.
Furthermore it would be good, if it is not possible to assign a function to a
shortcut that is not reachable with the particular keyboard in the Customize
dialogue.
Operating System: Windows 7
